A Fayette County man who allegedly held up a Brownsville restaurant and its lunchtime patrons at gunpoint has been charged with multiple counts of robbery, assault and terroristic threats.

According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Trooper James Pierce of state police at Uniontown, Lacy Darnell Bradley, 33, of Brownsville entered Pixel's Restaurant at 316 High St. around 12:20 p.m. on Tuesday.

Bradley revealed a .357 revolver and demanded that cashier and co-owner Virginia Courie give him the money in the cash register, police said.

After taking the cash, Bradley allegedly said it was “not enough” and demanded money from several customers.

He ordered everyone to lie on the floor and threw customer Attilio Cicconi, 78, of Brownsville to the floor when he did not obey.

Bradley fled in a 2001 Acura sport utility vehicle, while one of the restaurant owners called 911.

A Redstone Township police officer spotted Bradley and after a brief vehicle chase, Bradley left his SUV and ran into a wooded area.

Police from Redstone Township, Brownsville, Uniontown and Luzerne joined in the search for the suspect.

Masontown police officers and a state parole agent eventually found Bradley and took him into custody.

He was carrying the gun and stolen money, police said.

Bradley was charged with three counts of robbery, six counts of aggravated assault, possession of firearm prohibited, firearms not to be carried without a license, six counts of terroristic threats, receiving stolen property and three counts of theft.

Bradley already had been charged with the armed robbery of the Dollar General store in North Union on Monday.

He admitted to police that he robbed Potter's Restaurant in Uniontown.

He was arraigned and recommitted to the Fayette County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Police said additional robbery and assault charges will be filed against Bradley.

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments  either by the same reader or different readers.

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
